Oh, how I do want to see that. At least one Wiki moderator probably had a stoke after seeing the BC labeled a hate group… (chuckle)

I posted a comment yesterday but for some reason it never appeared. Snarky has a screenshot.

You’re cute. I like you.

And by the way, part of the reason I like you is because you’re a fucking moron!

As I haven’t read the whole case yet, I wanted to verify this before commenting:

But this too should be a headline of McDonald: Only a plurality of the Court relied on the Due Process Clause. The deciding vote was cast by Justice Clarence Thomas, whose concurring opinion rested solely on the Privileges or Immunities Clause. While agreeing “with the Court that the Second Amendment is fully applicable to the States,” he did so “because the right to keep and bear arms is guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment as a privilege of American citizenship.”

Furthermore, nothing in the plurality opinion by Justice Samuel Alito cast any doubt on Justice Thomas’s analysis. Instead, in three terse sentences, Justice Alito simply “decline[d]” to revisit Slaughter-House or even address the original meaning of the Privileges or Immunities Clause.

Had the court been forced to revisit Slaughter-House, there’s nothing suggesting they wouldn’t have done so and ruled based on P&I. The court usually rules as narrowly as possible, and this was no exception.

So, hey – thanks a heap to you, Mr. NRA, for helping perpetuate bad Due Process caselaw!

I can only speak for myself. I don’t consider myself to be an “NRA hater.” I’m just a non-worshiper. Attributing God-like status (including the “thou shalt have no other gods before me” clasue) to a human organization is very dangerous to the membership and the cause.

JD, shake your head hard once in a while. Maybe the blinders will work themselves loose and you’ll see the cart you’ve been hitched to ain’t the golden carriage you thought it was.
